How interesting you would mention those two things. 5 Lessons is the only golf book I have read from cover to cover and the result was that I did break 80 for the first time ever in THREE months. Incidentally, the image of the arms held together with a tightly wound cord is the one that sticks in my mind most vividly, and works very well as a swing thought for me.

INDEED, indeed. Methinks at least TWO gods:
The first, a god of line, symmetry, and order. A god of planes and arcs where the laws of speed, trajectory, and spin are constant, and obeyed.

ACCORDING TO LEGEND, Tiger played...

I think that staying inside your own game when playing with others of differing abilities can be the steepest mental challenge in the game.
Wonder what Tiger feels like when pros say "good shot" after something mediocre for him.

Yeah, but the deal is, the insurance is really expensive for the human voice. The person has to have a track record establishing worth, and then pay high premiums . . . strange thing. Opera AFLAC anyone?
